My childhood dog which was a black and white English Shepherd. He was not only a good stock dog but also a very loyal friend. He understood much more than simple commands. He always did the exact task that was asked of him. He knew no meant no. If he knew something was forbidden he left it alone. He wasn't much of a guard dog. He loved everyone that ever stopped by. He would have greeted and adored whoever was robbing the place. We shared many ice cream cones and bags of M&M candies. We even napped together on the porch.
He saved by tail when I was a small boy. I was freeing a calf that had is head stuck in the hay ring. Once the calf was free, he was on me like white on rice. The old English shepherd sprang into action and grabbed the calf by the neck until I was back on the tractor. He let go of the calf and ran to guard the gate just like nothing had ever happened. It was just all in a days work for him.
He lived to be an old guy. He became both blind and deaf at 14 or so. The fuel delivery truck ran him over at about 16. His hips got stiff during his last year. It was nearing the time to put him down anyway. We have had many dogs since then but none have been worth a nickel.
I'd suggest an English Shepherd to anyone who has a farm with small children. It's important to buy from a breeder that offers puppies that are raised outside and never kept in a kennel. Kennel dogs are idiots regardless of the breed but shepherds seem to take it worse that other breeds.

I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
